⚡Korea’s electric vehicle charging environment ranks overwhelmingly first among countries around the world

As mentioned in the article, South Korea has achieved first place in electric vehicle infrastructure among OECD countries.
Korea also ranked first in the 'charger output per electric vehicle' (kW per EV) index, which determines the performance of the charger, with 6.9 kW.
As of the end of last year, the number of electric vehicles per charger in Korea (Charging Points per EV) was calculated to be 2.0.
This figure is the total number of electric vehicles excluding medium and large commercial vehicles such as electric trucks and buses divided by the number of chargers. The lower the number, the lower the charging burden. It is the lowest figure among the 30 countries surveyed. It is far ahead of Europe (13 units), the world average (10 units), and China (8 units).
But, if you think about it as an electric car owner,
As the article says at the bottom, there is a severe lack of rapid charging infrastructure.
In the case of rapid charging, it can be fully charged in less than 2 hours (when fully charged, it can travel about 430 km).
In the case of slow speed, it often takes 8 to 10 hours.
Slow-speed trains are overwhelmingly available in apartments and public institutions, but for fast trains, you have to go to private facilities.
Nevertheless, the era of electric vehicles is coming
Electric trucks are not very efficient, but they are a trend that is happening all over the world (requires frequent charging, poor fuel economy).
Some say that the spread of electric trucks is too far ahead of its time → It is better to develop them further
For general passenger cars, the electric vehicle penetration rate is expected to increase to 18% by 2023, accounting for 14% of all cars.
By 2030, 30% of cars worldwide will be electric
